  • IncredibleCT3 ScoobySnax_YT (@IncredibleCT3) reported

    @Tony_Huynh @DodoMVS Serious question. What's the problem with having voice chat? Other games like fort and overwatch have it. If you don't want it on you can just turn it off.

  • theroseamor Rose Amor (@theroseamor) reported

    @aaronkellerOW @PlayOverwatch Can y’all just put overwatch 1 back online? Some of us didn’t need this new game and yall are ruining our quality bonding time with distant friends for an issue y’all should’ve been prepared for years ago

  • Ren_Heika Ren (@Ren_Heika) reported

    It's only the second day of #Overwatch2 and I already think you need to start thinking about bringing in an Overwatch Classic or bring back Overwatch 1. People being locked out because they can't afford a post pay phone, server issues, monetization, bugs, just bring it back.

  • ZenButSleepier Zen💙🌙 Chaotic Foxtuber (@ZenButSleepier) reported

    @SuperCloudSave He's not gone, I just can't play overwatch 2 because of my phone plan, and they shut the servers down for the first.

  • singingdart7854 🎃 Olivia/Declan 🎃 (@singingdart7854) reported

    I hope Blizzard fix Overwatch 2 soon. I really want my skins back

  • SYTGonTTV @SendYouToGod on Tiktok (@SYTGonTTV) reported

    @PlayApex Overwatch 2 has 120 FPS options for console. Once they fix their servers rip apex

  • corentin_gallo Corentin Gallo (@corentin_gallo) reported

    @TOBLAR0NE I have the same problem. I moove to Canada but my phone number is still in France 😩 We need to open a ticket to change the country but they are so busy with the launch of Overwatch 2...

  • fuckin_joe_time joe is behind you (@fuckin_joe_time) reported

    @BlizzardCS I lost all my skins and loot from overwatch in #Overwatch2 because I forgot my login name, is there any way you can help me?

  • YuziHarman (@YuziHarman) reported

    I still can’t login into overwatch lmao

  • 2kas2furious kas the unfriendly ghost (@2kas2furious) reported

    Overwatch: 2 Years Since Everybody Stopped Caring So Let's Re-Release It But Broken

  • tanjiro2035509 Tanjiro Kamado (@tanjiro2035509) reported

    Downloaded Overwatch 2. I logged in and it said I was in a queue behind 2000 players. After a while I was like **** it I'll just wait until the issue is fixed.

  • JustIronik Pulsive JustIronik. 💫ᥫ᭡ (@JustIronik) reported

    Am I the only one having issues getting in Overwatch 2?

  • Stasis_King_ Stasis king and scarlet queen (@Stasis_King_) reported

    Imagine being able to play overwatch two spending an hour to try and fix your account just to find out you still can’t play because apparently your phone number is incorrect and you need that to play the game which is stupid thanks blizzard clearly game of the year.👌🏻

  • Zenickks Avery 💛 (@Zenickks) reported

    alr it's official I have an overwatch problem already. I play dva btw 🥱

  • Veitsknight CarloMigs (@Veitsknight) reported

    Got 2 disconnections and one game crash while playing Overwatch 2 but still fun.

  • JoelWRodgers Joel Rodgers (@JoelWRodgers) reported

    @scottjohnson @lackingsaint My son is having no problem playing Valorant, but he can’t play Overwatch because his Japanese phone number isn’t recognized as valid. Very frustrating.

  • SideSidechick 🔞SidePiece🔞 (@SideSidechick) reported

    @lackingsaint I dropped Overwatch after the whole tournament issue. But this just makes me happier i did. I have never heard of such bullshit. Who thought BARRING so many ppl from play would be a good idea?? It’s cruel and all around stupid as ****.

  • MrBLTs Brett (@MrBLTs) reported

    @Qwik just take overwatch offline till you fix the servers and account merging. I’m not even gonna try to play till at least the account merging is fixed. None of my stuff is there. Some transparency would be nice. Like I said just take the game offline and fix everything

  • bepbeepboop Horse (@bepbeepboop) reported

    @BlizzardCS the version of overwatch 2 i have on my xbox is a free trial how do i fix this. i have been looking for the right version for like 2 hours now.

  • RetroRemaster Retro #ECT22 (@RetroRemaster) reported

    I'm not saying that overwatch 2 isn't being DDos'd. But I am saying that according to Activision OW had over 800k daily players in September. Now look at a more niche free game like MultiVersus which had a top player count of 150k at launch that's now dropped to around 3k.

  • gaypizzarolls luis🎃 (@gaypizzarolls) reported

    Didn’t Blizzard have these same issues with the launch of Diablo 3 back in 2012??? How the hell has nothing changed a decade later for the launch of Overwatch 2! It’s embarrassing lmaooo

  • luppo89 Michael Luppino (@luppo89) reported

    People who ddos **** like the overwatch 2 servers what do you get out of it? Why ruin it for a bunch of people that haven’t done anything to you? #Overwatch2

  • SolveLooking looking to solve (@SolveLooking) reported

    @OfficialXboxU Activision deal will not make Microsoft money . The only way it makes Microsoft money is if world of Warcraft on console . If it doesn’t come on console, there’s no Money to be made . Remember Diablo , Spyro , crash , and overwatch have come out for 3 systems

  • SmolFrenchBean_ 💙•°•𝓑𝓲𝓻𝓫 °•°💛 I STAND WITH UKRAINE 🇺🇦 (@SmolFrenchBean_) reported

    @HeliosGalaxy While yes, i agree, overwatch players are toxic af it still doesn’t excuse lack of preparation. They took down the OW1 servers and killed the game off officially, they should’ve known there would be high traffic coming into Overwatch 2. They can’t do much against the DDoS attacks

  • EdenZer063 EdenZero (@EdenZer063) reported

    @FrostyBanjo @RinKarigani the main issue at the moment is that if your phone is pre paid Overwatch simply won't let you play for some reason. So for a lot of people their just unable to because of this reason, which ******* sucks.

  • pandemon1um_ panda🏕 (@pandemon1um_) reported

    Am I the only person who thinks that people who bought Overwatch 1 should get at least the first battlepass for free? Especially with the amount of problems for consoles too. Like I dont even jave any of my items rn because of the damn Merge Bug... nor do I have any characters 🙄

  • sekai 𝚓𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚒🎃 (@sekai) reported

    I finally got into overwatch then battlenet kicked me when I was trying to fix my account aaahhaha

  • TeamHexEs Team Hex (@TeamHexEs) reported

    @seanistakenn That is exactly what they should have done. That way there is no 1 or 2, just Overwatch. It would have brought more people back and we wouldn't have these insane connection problems. The game is a reskin with 5 players per fight (which we hate) instead of 6. Insanity.

  • Jalaxy_Pro Joe Bidenakis (@Jalaxy_Pro) reported

    @DakDreaded The biggest and easiest solution to this problem is to not play Overwatch

  • shandrick Shane (@shandrick) reported

    My Overwatch 2 experience today: *Wait one hour for a server* Get “Unexpected Server Error” message when game should have finally loaded *Stuck behind 1999 people AGAIN*
